• The lower row of the LCD displays group parameters.
• The Assignment display shows the currently displayed group—G1, for example.
• The Time display shows the group name. (If the name is longer than ten characters,
the last ten characters are displayed.)
• You can switch between group parameters with the V-Pot buttons.
• The Cursor Up and Cursor Down buttons select the previous or next group.
• The Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons shift the group parameter display.
• The SELECT buttons determine group membership. Pressing a SELECT button adds the
channel strip to the group (or removes it from the group, if already a member). An
illuminated SELECT button LED indicates active group membership.
• The LED next to the GROUP button is illuminated.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
If Group Edit mode is off, holding down the GROUP button and pressing one or more
SELECT buttons allows you to create a new group.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the SHIFT button creates a new group,
opens the Group window, and activates Group Edit mode.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the TRACK button switches to Mixer
view, with the channel strip group parameter shown. It displays the group that the selected
channel strip belongs to. Multiple group membership is displayed as in the Mixer window.
Turning a V-Pot changes group membership.
Note: You can only select one group (or Off) with this function.
Mackie Control: Utilities Buttons
The four Utilities buttons activate common Logic Express functions: Save, Undo, Cancel,
and Enter.
SAVE Button
Press the SAVE button to save the current project file. The first time you save a project,
a Save dialog appears on your computer screen. Enter a name and location for the file,
then click the Save button in the dialog.
The main LCD displays this message: “There is a file select dialog on the screen.” The
Position/Time display shows “ALERT.” All LEDs are unlit. Once the Save operation has
been confirmed in Logic Express, the Mackie Control returns all controls to their previous
state (before you pressed the SAVE button).
